Summary

Analyze keywords

This extensions mutes all Chrome tabs by default allowing you to make tab audible on-demand. I've created it because I got furious at various news sites that autoplay videos in background, often somewhere along the text or in the sidebar.

This extension has zero analytics, tracking or any other data gathering and it will stay this way forever.

WHAT'S NEW

I can't know for certain, but I believe this app infected my Chrome with a Bing redirect virus. You've been warned.
